July 1, 20196 yr Looks good Papy but I don't see hummers. We won't believe there are hummers without pics you know. Hmmmmm, hmmmmm, hmmmmm? Seriously, hummers are attracted to red, a little food coloring in the nectar or paint on the feeder or bracket. It only has to be close to the feeder and they'll zero right in. Frosty The Lucky.
July 2, 20196 yr Author Frosty My winged warriors love this Kerr jar feeder. There's a red feeder about three feet away and this one gets all the birds. Any movement and they're gone. To many cats &dogs in the neighborhood.
December 11, 20223 yr Frosty, traditionally the red food coloring is added but trust me they like it just fine with or without the food coloring..... before I stopped feeding them here they swarmed my feeders with out the coloring.
December 11, 20223 yr Once the hummers know there's a feeder they don't need help finding it again, true. It's attracting the first couple where red helps then let the feeding frenzy begin! Frosty The Lucky.

The Hummers at my house still fly up to my porch and give me stink eye cause i have not put out a feeder in a few years... I guess i will have to make a hanger and set one up this year to see if that makes them happier.
January 14, 20233 yr I cheat, the bottles have a red coating. I got the same stink eye last year when I didn't re-fill them soon enough.
